Acquisitions by Emerging Multinational Corporations
This thesis analyzes the motivation and performance of 403 acquisitions made by emerging multinational corporations (EMNCs) in Western Europe and North America between 1994 and 2013. The findings indicate that most EMNCs were motivated to acquire in order to obtain access to the upstream and downstream know-how of their target firms. In addition, the thesis' event study results demonstrate that EMNCs on average generated value for their shareholders with their acquisitions over short periods around acquisition announcement. This result is particularly significant since similar studies on buying firms from developed markets have frequently come to the conclusion that acquirers destroy shareholder value.
Environmental Policy and Renewable Energy Equipment Exports
This thesis investigates the connection between environmental regulation, technological innovation, and export competitiveness in renewable energy equipment based on a large sample of 225 developed and developing countries from 1990 to 2012. The empirical analysis yields strong supporting evidence for the narrowly strong Porter Hypothesis as well as for the lead market theory. The results suggest that environmental regulation drives innovation and export volumes in solar- and wind-power-related goods. This is particularly the case for well-crafted (i.e. market-based, output-oriented, and clear) instruments such as carbon trading regimes. Moreover, the data show that early adopters of renewable energy support policies benefit most.

Ludwig Wurster und die Nürnberger Augustiner zur Reformationszeit
Der Neu-Nürnberger Augustiner Ludwig Wurster, Theologie-Student in Wittenberg, wird aus Glaubensgründen Gerber. Die Mitbrüder übergeben ihr Kloster 1525 an das Almosenamt. Beides macht auf Voraussetzungen der Reformation in Nürnberger aufmerksam: Die Augustiner sind ihr Ideengeber und personeller Träger. Erforscht werden Studienorte, Bildung, Klosterleben, Ansehen bei den Bürgern, Streben nach Reformen, das Ringen um die Legitimität der Existenz als Mönch, Veränderungen im Kloster-Gottesdienst, die mittelalterlichen Stiftungen angesichts des Bettels. Vor und nach der Klosterauflösung betraut der Rat die Mönche mit neuen Aufgaben in Stadt und Land. So zeigen sich bisher nur wenig ...
